Turin, February 1, 2020 – Wiseair is a project created by 5 young engineers of the Politecnico di Milano with the mission to allow citizens to access clear and transparent information about air quality and through this information promote a new attitude aimed at bringing clean air in our cities.

The secret ingredient of the project is Arianne, a balcony pot that monitors the concentration of particulate matter in the air. Starting from the data provided by the Arianne housed on the balconies of the so-called Ambassadors, all citizens can learn about the air quality in their neighborhood via App, stimulating the birth of communities of aware citizens who can lead the change.

After deploying a network of over 100 sensors in the city of Milan, Wiseair has launched a new community project dedicated to the city of Turin. The first 20 Arianne sensors were distributed free of charge by selecting the citizens of Turin who most closely reflected the values and spirit of the project. After more than 1000 applications received, the Ambassadors have been selected and the sensors have been installed on their balconies!

Currently, therefore, the first network of 20 sensors is widely distributed in the Piedmontese capital and all citizens can access the data collected in real-time. To know the air quality in Turin just download the application Wiseair directly from the store. Starting from the data collected by the city sensors, the application is able to show the air quality in every point of the city, also showing the daily, monthly, and yearly historical trend.

The project doesn’t stop there. The goal is to use this information to create a conscious movement, helping the administration in addressing the problem of pollution. The community is gathered on the Facebook group ITALIA ARIA PULITA | Wiseair community, which today counts several thousand citizens and two large subgroups, Milano Aria Pulita and Torino Aria Pulita, the two cities that first joined the Wiseair project.

The Torino Aria Pulita project has been supported by many local realities that are giving their support, including Comitato Torino Respira, Bike Pride, and Dott. This is the beginning of a collaborative project that has the ambition to address the issue of pollution in a concrete and active way. Starting directly from the civic spirit of the citizens themselves.
